Waiting for You in a City

At 3:15 in the morning, there was silence in the hospital.

Song Yan was leaning against the wall and sitting on the floor of the corridor, and the people had calmed down. too tired.

Xu Qin brought him a glass of water and gave it to him. After a sip, he still had some cracked lips.

She sat next to him on the ground, her pajama pants shrunk, revealing two white ankles.

This was the case when she squatted here just now.

Song Yan stretched out her hand and shook her ankle. He was cold, and he held his hand.

Xu Qin lowered his head, covered his hands, gently stroked, and asked, “What are you going to do?”

“Tell the facts.”

“Ok.”

“What do you want to say?” He looked at her.

“This is your job responsibility, I have nothing to say.” She said.

He still looked at her.

She said: “If Professor Xu had a medical accident and died, he went to investigate; I, as a participant, will also record the truth. It is not out of right or wrong, it is the duty. But if no one comes to ask me, Then I … I won’t say it even if I know it, because I don’t care. ”

“Like you.” Song Yan slightly bent the corner of her mouth, bitter, and asked, “Don’t think I should lie to hide the past? Like I said last time to eat supper, wait for a promotion and do something bigger? ”

She stopped stroking the back of his hand, thinking for a moment, and asked, “Can you?”

Song Yan looked at her,

She hugged her legs and lay on her knees. She said, “The Gulfstream Club Xiao Xiaoxiao often goes to has a foreman named Alu. I always go there with Xiao Yixiao to know her.”

The hallway is very quiet, her voice is not loud, she is not slow,

“I asked Alu, so many beautiful girls in the club, where so many resources come from, is the boss backstage strong, forcibly searched. Alu said no, they are all voluntary. I wonder, all are first-class beauties, It ’s a good place in other places. Is n’t it hard to get out of life when you come here? Alu said, neither.

“She said that the club recruits only the front desk, and the salary is higher than that of white-collar workers. Although the applicants know that this is a colored area, the front desk is clean. They are not prepared to wait for a long time, and wait to earn enough money quickly to allow themselves The emperor city settled down and left. ”

“After a month at the front desk, the foreman said, it ’s better to be a guide, just to take a few more steps, and not to enter the box, but the salary doubles. Well, doubling the salary can make more money and leave faster, and start new Life, be a guide.

A month later, the foreman again said that it would be better to be a waiter, and he had already reached the door of the box, leading the guests in and the salary doubled. Well, be a waiter.

The foreman said, it would be better to be a box princess, already in the box, serving tea and pouring water. Well, in order to make enough money to leave faster, be a box princess. Another month later, the foreman said, be a chat with the princess. When you served tea and poured water, you chatted with the guests. Now you just move from the coffee table to the sofa, the salary can double, and you can earn more. Can leave earlier. Okay, then be a princess. Later, if you have already paid the guest to chat, just touch it; then later, if you have touched it, just sleep.

In the end, the money was already enough, but no one left, and all became princesses, continuing to make a lot of money, without exception. Xu Qin said, “Alu walked like this. ”

The corridor was silent.

She knows him, so she is coaxing him in her way.

Song Yan said nothing, but inadvertently moved closer to her.

At this moment, not only the body, but also the soul, as if the two were getting closer.

She felt it, and she couldn’t help but get close to him.

She rubbed her eyes and was a little tired, but tiredness made it easy to tell.

“Actually, I do n’t think there is anything right or wrong about the introduction of a princess. Maybe I ’m not right or wrong. I think they are willing to do it. It ’s their choice. Go to the ‘clean’ front desk. Because … ”

“Some bottom line, once you step back, it will be a mile. The things behind will not develop as you originally imagined, because people are an animal that will continue to make excuses for themselves. Many people have good ideas, but they are lost on the way. When you violate When the initial heart took the first step, your original heart could not come back. ”

She slowly finished this paragraph, and she was silent for a long time. I don’t know if it’s sleepy, or the thoughts in my head have been dumped, and nothing has come to nothing.

The people around me never responded.

She turned her head and saw him staring at her all the time, with a calm expression and even a little tiredness, but there was a faint smile in her eyes, like the man who had just been out of control just disappeared completely. And her Song Yan returned to her.

She couldn’t help but smile slightly, proud of finally coaxing him: “Are you laughing?”

He bent the corner of his lips.

“Laughing?”

“It’s nothing.” He shook his head and saw that she was tired, took her in his arms, and pressed his jaw firmly against her temples, and said softly, “I think you are fine.”

She leaned back in his arms and found a comfortable position to lean on. She silently lowered her eyes for a moment, “Actually, I’m not that good, and I have a little bit of selfishness in my heart. I’m not happy.”

He listened to it, took a slight breath, and suppressed the slight upset in his heart. It was clear what she was thinking, but she still asked for some reason and wanted to hear her say:

“such as?”

She yawned slightly and slowly said:

“I will also think, will you betray the principle for me. I didn’t want you to do this, but it seems that it will prove something.”

He pays more and less to her, she always cares about it,

“However, the fireman who just died is still lying there, and your comrades are still unconscious. If you ignore the dead at this time, regardless of the truth, this kind of you is terrible, unlike you I like.”

He couldn’t say a word, only her instinctively pressed her temples closer.

“… Moreover, you are also struggling with pain because of your commitment to me. I have seen it, although it hurts, but I am also a little happy.” She smiled gently.

He lowered his head, shook it, and smiled more bitterly.

She leaned over his shoulder, rubbed her eyes, and couldn’t help yawning again.

He whispered: “Are you sleepy?”

“Well. Are you more sleepy than me? Entering and leaving the fire scene is particularly exhausting.”

Song Yan froze for a moment, only to realize that he was tired all over him, but he forgot.

She looked up: “Can’t rest tomorrow?”

“The ad hoc group will come from above.”

“I hope that the team leader’s style is decent, so that tonight’s worry is unnecessary.”

“I wish.” He smiled softly, “Go back to rest earlier.”

He has to go.

“Ok.”

He helped her up and wanted to send her out. Captain Wu of Liuyetan Squadron came to this side.

Xu Qin waved his hand: “You are busy, don’t worry about me. I went back myself.”

She turned and was about to leave, Song Yan grabbed her hand: “Xu Qin.”

“Huh?” She froze for a moment, “Is there anything else?”

He looked at her and his eyes returned to firmness: “You can rest assured that I will handle this matter properly.” After a second, the old man and his wife smiled like, “… not letting you down.”

“Hmm.” Her eyes lit up and nodded, her eyes full of trust.

He suddenly felt that the whole person was full of blood and resurrected, smiling again, and rubbed it gently on her head.

Xu Qin left.

Song Yan looked at her back and looked at Wu with a smile.

The latter made a big stride: “Let’s rush back. The team of the seven innings will come over at dawn. Before that, we have to prepare a detailed explanation.”

Song Yan: “Okay.”

The two walked outside through the hall.

Team Wu was on the verge of collapsing this night, and his mood was not stable at the moment: “Song Yan, I have watched the scene and should not have burned so badly. I guess you can see it, so I wo n’t hide you. I only knew that before. The bar was opened by a wealthy second generation, and it was only today that I realized that someone was taking money to drain the water. ”

Song Yan didn’t interrupt, and after he finished,

“Liuyetan Brigade I know better than you. I guess who they are. It stands to reason that things are going like this, and you have to be removed from the post in any way. It is exempt, move to another place and continue to work, and continue to kill people. This time I wo n’t fucking, or I ’ll dig out this thing and have nightmares every night to see the kid ’s burnt face. ”Speaking of this, Captain Wu choked again,“ His father Mom rushed by train all night, and I … “He didn’t go over his tears.

Song Yan: “Don’t be discouraged first, the people in the ministry come down, and the detachment brigade does not dare to make mistakes.”

“But the captain of his family background …” Captain Wu gritted his teeth. “If the leader who came up this time came for a rigorous investigation, it would be better to say; if it is a sloppy eye—”

When the man walked to the gate, he swallowed the words into his stomach.

The fire-fighting suits on the two were too conspicuous. As soon as they went out, the reporters who crouched around came:

“Is it the fireman from Liuyetan?”

“What about the unconscious firefighter? How many deaths and injuries?”

“Why did the explosion happen?”

“Why can’t the fire be controlled, is it impossible to save?”

Song Yan blocked the reporter and did not look back and walked out of the yard. After leaving the crowd and walking a distance, Captain Wu suddenly stopped: “Song Yan.”

Song Yan turned to look at him, already guessing what he wanted to do.

“We can’t touch it hard. It’s better …”

Song Yan interrupted: “Those reporters just want to get exclusives and benefit from this disaster.”

“But public opinion is the best way to go, and it has the greatest strength. It doesn’t matter whether the leader is crooked.”

“You calm down first.” Song Yan denied, “Once some news is released, you can’t take it away. Maybe you want to crack down on some people, but it may evolve to the end, and it will hit the whole group, causing many innocent people to be implicated. . Don’t go this way until you have to. ”

“It won’t work, it won’t work, what do you say?”

Song Yan thought for a moment and said, “Although you don’t leave, you can use it.”

…

At 9 o’clock in the morning, the conference room of Liuyetan Fire Brigade.

The leader of the task force, the political commissar of the Nancheng District Fire Brigade, the three fire brigade team leader instructors and three fire squadron team leader instructors who participated in the fire fighting operation were all present.

Director Chen of the ad hoc group sat in the center of the conference room.

Three civilians were killed in this fire, and a firefighter was also sacrificed. The impact was very bad, and Director Chen did not seem to be in a good mood.

At first, the captain of Liuyetan Fire Brigade was preparing to pour tea for him, but was lightly stopped by Director Chen: “Don’t linger, sit down for a meeting.”

The accident occurred in the district of Liuyetan. The captain of Liuyetan Fire Brigade first gave a comprehensive overview of the fire, from the time of the incident, the process of receiving the police, the fire fighting operations, and the casualties.

After he finished speaking, Director Chen did not continue to the next item, but asked: “Who is the squadron leader?”

Captain Wu raised his hand.

Director Chen said: “You are the person who directly extinguished the fire. From your own point of view, repeat the situation at that time.”

The captain’s face changed.

Captain Wu is not as excited as he was at night. His statement is organized and basically consistent with what the captain said, but at the end, he said:

“If it wasn’t for Captain Song of Shilitai that the judgment was correct, there might be more than one dead firefighter this time, but six or seven. Not to mention the seriously injured.”

When Director Chen heard this figure, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, which was extremely unpleasant.

If six or seven public officials are really dead, then a thorough investigation will be unavoidable from top to bottom, and there is no way to stop without removing a few important positions.

With his frown, the atmosphere in the entire conference room froze.

Director Chen asked, “Captain Song of Shilitai, is that Captain Song who made a contribution to the Wangxiang earthquake?” After a sweep, Song Yan was found.

Song Yan nodded.

Director Chen calmed down a little: “This time, you have made a contribution again …. A preliminary report on the cause of the fire, did you write it?”

Song Yan: “Written.”

Director Chen: “Read it.”

Song Yan ’s report, without any subjective emotions and inferences, is very plain:

“The cause of the fire was a violation of the circuit design, which caused a short circuit.”

“The reason for the rapid spread of fire is that the design of the building is unqualified from the perspective of fire protection, resulting in accelerated combustion. The overall indoor wiring is not insulated, the material is flammable, and the escape passage is blocked.”

“The fire eventually turned into an explosion and was out of control, because the smoke device and water spray device were collectively scrapped, resulting in a rapid temperature increase in the enclosed basement.”

He calmly elaborated, and the captains and trainers across the face were pale.

Song Yan’s face did not change color, put down the report paper.

Director Chen immediately patted the table: “The boss did not abide by the fire regulations, and you did not do a good job in fire inspection!”

The captain of Liuyetan and the political commissar immediately acknowledged the error: “Yes, yes, the people underneath are negligent. This matter must be investigated. Thorough investigation.”

Song Yan said lightly: “The captain of the team is going to check. That has to be done quickly. It is better to get a preliminary result today.”

The captain looked over.

Song Yan took out a piece of paper and glanced at it, saying: “There is a response from an escapee, I tried to use a fire extinguisher, it is bad; there is no water in the fire hydrant ….” Insiders revealed that the owner of the bar is a rich second generation, and someone suspected him of giving him a green light. ”

He raised his eyes, “This is what I wrote in the news this morning.”

Several people on the opposite side were dumbfounded at the same time.

Director Chen’s face was more solemn. Rumors have begun in the media on the Internet, and he saw it before he came.

Song Yan said: “Although yesterday, the media was chased out, but the current society, the news is unstoppable. The impact of this fire is bad, coupled with the topic of the sacrifice of firefighters, will soon be on social media A full attention has been raised. Presumably, everyone here has also witnessed how some public emergencies are out of control. Media surprises, public opinion slams, and when public officials respond, even if they make a mistake or delay a little, the situation will deteriorate rapidly. ”

“In my opinion, compared to letting the media catch the wind and let the public opinion ferment in an unfavorable direction, leading to the last issue is unmanageable, leading to a decline in credibility, and causing any information released by the final task force to become an afterthought.” Excuses, ‘Hide the truth’, ‘Catch the scapegoat’.

Rather, before the media digs up rumours and public opinion ferments, it should be held accountable, dealt with, made public, and the possibility of the spread of rumors and rumours timely cut off. You can win back your reputation only when you make a decisive decision.

only……”

Song Yan slowed down, and said,

“The masses’ eyes are poisonous, and their mouths poisonous, and they can’t be confused. Otherwise, they will come back and suffer even worse.”

After this, the meeting room was quiet.

The faces of several captains and instructors have been pale and paper-like.

The leaders of the task force collectively fell into contemplation.

Is to choose to cover up, and eventually dig out the gossip, leading to public opinion backlash and a crisis of trust;

Or did you choose to strike hard, get rid of troubles quickly, win praise from the public, and get a good opportunity for merit?

This choice is not difficult.

Director Chen glanced at Song Yan, the younger generation … He was young and courageous.
